The above gives The meaning of this parameter can be understood accordingly with the evolution of communication technology;

[0125] If SRS transmission is aperiodic, K SRS (i) is the number of symbols of the activated UL BWP b corresponding to carrier f of serving cell c after the last symbol of the corresponding PDCCH that triggers SRS transmission and before the first symbol of SRS transmission;

[0126] If SRS transmission is semi-persistent or periodic, K SRS (i) is K SrS,min The number of symbols, which is equivalent to the number of symbols per time slot The product of the minimum value provided by k2 in PUSCH-ConfigCommon and the activated UL BWP b for carrier f of serving cell c;

[0127] - If the first symbol of the SRS transmission opportunity occurs at T proc,2 Within, which is located after the last symbol received by the PDCCH, wherein for said PDCCH, the UE detects the DCI format provided by the TPC command, the UE may delay the application of TPC until the above conditions are invalid. proc,2 is the PUSCH preparation time corresponding to the UE processing capability, assuming d 2,1 =0, and μ corresponds to the minimum SCS configuration between the sub-carrier space (SCS) configuration of the PDCCH carrying the DCI format and the SCS configuration of the SRS.

[0137] With the development of communication technology, scenarios in which multiple TRPs collaborate have emerged. How to achieve the goal of meeting various uplink rate requirements while reducing network deployment costs in these scenarios is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0138] When a high rate is required for uplink transmission, it is possible to consider requiring only some TRPs (such as one TRP) to support downlink transmission with the terminal device, while some TRPs only support uplink transmission with the terminal. Compared with the existing technology where each TRP needs to support both uplink and downlink transmission with the terminal device, this application can save network deployment costs.

[0139] For example, there may be a communication scenario as shown in Figure 3: downlink is a single TRP transmission, and uplink is multiple TRP transmission. In Figure 3, only TRP1 sends downlink, while the terminal device can send uplink to any one, two, or three of TRP1, TRP2, and TRP3. This uplink can include transmission data and reference signals (e.g., SRS). This data is carried on the PUSCH.

[0140] For the above scenario, how to determine the power control parameters of the SRS, reasonably perform power control, and realize the transmission of the SRS is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0141] To this end, the present application provides a communication solution. If PUSCH transmission on the activated uplink portion of the bandwidth of the first carrier of the first service cell is not configured; or if an independent (separate) power control adjustment state is indicated between SRS transmission and PUSCH transmission; or if two power control adjustment states are configured for SRS transmission, and these two power control adjustment states are independent of the power control adjustment state used for PUSCH transmission; or if two power control adjustment states are configured for SRS transmission, these two power control adjustment states are independent of the power control adjustment state used for PUSCH transmission, and an independent power control adjustment state is indicated between SRS transmission and PUSCH transmission, the terminal device can determine the power in a manner associated with the power control adjustment state corresponding to the SRS transmission and then send the SRS to achieve uplink transmission.

[0142] As shown in Figure 4, it is a flow chart of a communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Exemplarily, the method may include the following steps:

[0143] S401. If the PUSCH transmission on the activated uplink portion of the bandwidth of the first carrier of the first serving cell is not configured; or

[0144] If it is instructed to use independent power control adjustment states between SRS transmission and PUSCH transmission; or

[0145] If two power control adjustment states are configured for SRS transmission, and these two power control adjustment states are independent of the power control adjustment state used for PUSCH transmission; or

[0146] If two power control adjustment states are configured for SRS transmission, these two power control adjustment states are independent of the power control adjustment state used for PUSCH transmission, and it is indicated that independent power control adjustment states are used between SRS transmission and PUSCH transmission;

[0147] The UE determines a first transmit power.

[0148] In an optional embodiment, two power control adjustment states are configured for SRS transmission, and these two power control adjustment states are independent of the power control adjustment state used for PUSCH transmission. It can be understood that two power control adjustment state indexes are configured for SRS transmission, and these two power control adjustment states are independent of the power control adjustment state used for PUSCH transmission.

[0149] In an optional embodiment, two power control adjustment states are configured for SRS transmission, and these two power control adjustment states are independent of the power control adjustment state used for PUSCH transmission. It can be understood that two power control adjustment state indexes are configured for SRS transmission, and the power control adjustment states corresponding to these two power control adjustment state indexes are independent of the power control adjustment state used for PUSCH transmission.

[0150] In an optional embodiment, two power control adjustment states are configured for SRS transmission, and these two power control adjustment states are independent of the power control adjustment state adopted for PUSCH transmission. It can be understood that multiple power control adjustment state indexes are configured for SRS transmission, wherein the power control adjustment states corresponding to the two power control adjustment state indexes are independent of the power control adjustment state adopted for PUSCH transmission.

[0151] In an optional embodiment, two power control adjustment states are configured for SRS transmission, and these two power control adjustment states are independent of the power control adjustment state used for PUSCH transmission, and it is indicated that independent power control adjustment states are used between SRS transmission and PUSCH transmission. It can be understood that two power control adjustment state indexes are configured for SRS transmission, and these two power control adjustment states are independent of the power control adjustment state used for PUSCH transmission, and it is indicated that independent power control adjustment states are used between SRS transmission and PUSCH transmission.

[0152] In an optional embodiment, two power control adjustment states are configured for SRS transmission, and these two power control adjustment states are independent of the power control adjustment state adopted for PUSCH transmission, and it is indicated that independent power control adjustment states are adopted between SRS transmission and PUSCH transmission. It can be understood that two power control adjustment state indexes are configured for SRS transmission, and the power control adjustment states corresponding to these two power control adjustment state indexes are independent of the power control adjustment state adopted for PUSCH transmission, and it is indicated that independent power control adjustment states are adopted between SRS transmission and PUSCH transmission.

[0153] In an optional embodiment, two power control adjustment states are configured for SRS transmission, and these two power control adjustment states are independent of the power control adjustment state adopted for PUSCH transmission, and it is indicated that independent power control adjustment states are adopted between SRS transmission and PUSCH transmission.

[0154] When a high rate is required for uplink transmission, the UE needs to determine the transmission power of the SRS in the scenario where only part of the TRP (such as one TRP) is needed to support the downlink transmission capability between the terminal device and part of the TRP only supports the uplink transmission capability (sending SRS) between the terminal.

[0155] Specifically, the SRS transmit power may need to be determined in the following scenarios:

[0156] In some scenarios, the UE is not configured for PUSCH transmission on the activated uplink portion of the bandwidth of the first carrier of the first serving cell, and the UE cannot determine how to perform power control when sending SRS. In this scenario, the UE needs to determine the first transmit power for sending SRS.

[0157] In other scenarios, although the UE is configured with PUSCH transmission on the activated uplink portion of the bandwidth of the first carrier of the first service cell, the network device instructs the UE to use independent power control adjustment states between SRS transmission and PUSCH transmission. In this scenario, the UE needs to additionally determine the first transmission power for sending SRS.

[0158] In other scenarios, although the UE is configured with PUSCH transmission on the activated uplink portion of the bandwidth of the first carrier of the first serving cell, and is configured with two power control adjustment states for SRS transmission, these two power control adjustment states are independent of the power control adjustment state used for PUSCH transmission. In this scenario, the UE needs to additionally determine the first transmit power for sending SRS.

[0159] In other scenarios, although the UE is configured with PUSCH transmission on the activated uplink portion of the bandwidth of the first carrier of the first service cell, and is configured with two power control adjustment states for SRS transmission, these two power control adjustment states are independent of the power control adjustment state used for PUSCH transmission, but the network device instructs the UE to use independent power control adjustment states between SRS transmission and PUSCH transmission. In this scenario, the UE needs to additionally determine the first transmit power for sending SRS.

[0160] In this embodiment, the UE determines a first transmit power for transmitting the SRS, wherein the first transmit power is associated with a first power control adjustment state corresponding to the SRS transmission.

[0161] For example, if the UE transmits SRS on the bandwidth part (BWP) b of the activated uplink (UL) of carrier f of serving cell c using the SRS power control adjustment state (i.e., the first index) with index l (i.e., the first power control adjustment state) based on the configuration of SRS-ResourceSet, the UE determines the transmission power P of the SRS at SRS transmission opportunity i. SRS,b,f,c (i,q s ,l)Satisfy:

[0162] Among them, the P CMAX,f,c (i) P O_SRS,b,f,c (q s ), M SRS,b,f,c (i), α SRS,b,f,c (q s ) and PL b,f,c (q d The meaning of the ) parameter can be found in the description above and will not be repeated here.

[0163] For the activated UL BWP b and SRS transmission opportunity i for carrier f of serving cell c:

[0164] (1) If srs-PowerControlAdjustmentStates indicates the same power control adjustment state for SRS transmission and physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission, then h b,f,c (i,l)=f b,f,c (i,l), where f b,f,c (i,l) is the current PUSCH power control adjustment state as defined in clause 7.1.1 [TS38.213];

[0165] (2) Alternatively, if the UE is not configured for PUSCH transmission on the activated UL BWP b of carrier f of serving cell c, or srs-PowerControlAdjustmentStates indicates that independent power control adjustment states are used between SRS transmission and PUSCH transmission (the transmit power for PUSCH transmission is associated with a second power control adjustment state, the second power control adjustment state corresponding to the second index), and tpc-Accumulation is not provided, or two power control adjustment states are configured for SRS transmission, and the two power control adjustment states are independent of the power control adjustment state used for PUSCH transmission, and tpc-Accumulation is not provided, or two power control adjustment states are configured for SRS transmission, the two power control adjustment states are independent of the power control adjustment state used for PUSCH transmission, and it is indicated that independent power control adjustment states are used between SRS transmission and PUSCH transmission, and tpc-Accumulation is not provided, then in,

[0166] δ SRS,b,f,c The values ​​are given in Table 7.1.1-1 [TS38.213];

[0167] δ SRS,b,f,c (m, l) is jointly encoded with other TPC commands, which are located in DCI format 2_3 carried on the PDCCH;

[0168] is the TPC command value set S i The sum of the TPC command values ​​in K SRS (i-i0)-1 symbol and K SRS (i) Receive the TPC command value set S between symbols i , where K SRS The (i-i0)-1 symbol is located before the SRS transmission opportunity i-i0, K SRS (i) The symbol is located before the SRS transmission opportunity i on the activated UL BWP b of the carrier f of the serving cell c for the SRS power control adjustment state 1, where K before the SRS transmission opportunity i-i0 SRS (i) symbol, which is earlier than the K before SRS transmission opportunity i SRS (i-i0) symbol, i0>0 is the smallest integer;

[0169] If SRS transmission is aperiodic, K SRS(i) is the number of symbols of the activated UL BWP b corresponding to carrier f of serving cell c after the last symbol of the corresponding PDCCH that triggers SRS transmission and before the first symbol of SRS transmission;
